Sound Democratic Doctrine.

The resolutions supported by the
minority at Chicago as a substitute for
the financial planks of the platform,
cohtain a sound expression of Demo-
cratic doctrine. If these had been
adopted, it the whole platform had been
framed upon like honest lines, the Dem-
ocratic party could have entered on the
campaign if not with a probability of
victory, at least with a certainty of
honor.

Away with Rough Stone Pavements.

Under the above caption the New
York Herald states that “it is encour-
aging to note that money for la‘ying a
Smooth pavement in Fifth ‘avenue from
Forty-second street to the Park has at
last-been voted by the Board of Esti-
mate and Apportionment.

It will be a happy day for New York
when this grand thoroughfare is prop-
erly paved. The improvement should
be extended to all the leading avenues
and principal streets of the city as rap-
idly as possible.

Bough stone pavements should be
speedily regulated to theipast. In gen-
eral they are as unnecessary as unde-
sirable. They are out of date and out
of place in this great metropolitan cen-
tre. They are a nuisance to pleasure
driving and cycling and a drawback
even to heavy traffic, while thef‘= eternal
din which they cause is a detriment to
the sick and an annoyance to the well.

Next to rapid transit there is no boon
which will be hailed more heartily by
the people of New York than that of
civilized pavements infthe avenues and
streets of the city.”

The Herald hits the situation of Wall
street, here in Nor-Walk, to aT

”(Wanted —A Democratic Douglas.

“S ephen A. Douglas saved the Demo-
cratic party from annihilation in 1860.
It was disrupted by devotion to the
slavery craze that, like the cheap
money craze of to-day, sought to take
the whole country in its embrace, and
Douglas saved the Democratic party of
the Union by the heroic and hopeless
ibattle he made for the Presidency.
Had Douglas not led the patriotic
Democrats of that day, the Democracy
would have perished from the earth
when civil war began.

No national party with repudiation
and revolution emblazoned on its ban-
ners can survive a battle made against
the patriotism, the honor and the in-
tegrity of both the Republic and its
mople.

Millions of honest democrats who
would support a true Democratic ticket
with enthusiasm, will vote directly for
McKinley if they must choose between
Bepublicanism and repudiation.

Amajority of the delegation to the
Chicago convention from Maine, re-
pudiate the Chicago platform and its
candidate for Vice President given to
their own- state. The Democrats of
New England cannot follow th1s degen-
erate effigy of Democracy, and in Illi-
Ezois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kentucky
and many other states there is to-day
open and organized revolt. Unless the
Democrats of the Union have another
Douglas to present in this emergency,
the Democratic organization,must fall
without the hope of resurrection.

.Is there a Douglas ?

The big fresh air home at Branchville
is now open for the summer. Two
hundred children of New York arethcre
